Hi loves! If you're looking to give your nails some love without heading to a salon, this easy routine is all you need.
Perfect for quick maintenance or a mini pampering session, these simple steps will leave your nails looking clean, healthy, and naturally shiny!
💅 Before You Start
Wash your hands and dry them thoroughly. When using a nail file, remember: the higher the grit number, the smoother it is. Avoid using coarse files like 100/180 on the nail surface—they can cause scratches!
✂️ TRIM & SHAPE
1. Use a clean, sharp nail clipper to trim your nails to the desired length.
2. Shape your nails using the rougher side (100 grit) of your nail file.
3. Smooth out the edges using the finer (180 grit) side for a clean finish.
🌿 CUTICLE CARE
1. Apply a cuticle softener and let it sit for about 30 seconds.
2. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles.
3. Trim any loose or dead skin around the nail bed with a clean cuticle trimmer—be extra careful during this step!
✨ BUFF & SHINE
1. Lightly buff the surface of your nails with a 600 grit buffer. If you're planning to add polish, you can stop here.
2. For a natural glossy look, use a 3000 grit buffer to shine the nails.
3. Finish by applying a nourishing cuticle oil to hydrate and protect your nail area.
And that's it—your express at-home manicure! Whether you like to go bare or top it off with polish, these steps are a great base to keep your nails looking fresh and clean! 💖
